You say that like it's some sort of fact ::** THE FIGHT WASN'T EVEN GOING TAYLOR'S WAY DURING THE HEADBUTT. And you seem to forget that Wright lost a round because of a headbutt.

Winky thought he won the fight, you have to understand that he had reached this big time stage before...in 1998. He fought Fernando Vargas and in a fight similar to this one (but with Wright winning more rounds), he lost the decision in favor of an HBO fighter ;) Now it takes him 6 years to get back on the top, he beats Mosley twice and Trinidad. He fights an HBO fighter and....well it's de ja vu. He's still pretty dejected right now, and I think the no rematch thing was heat of the moment. He doesn't want to put himself through that again. But since there are really no bigger and better fights out there....I envision them going again.

Now I'm not saying HBO pulled any strings, but I bet a lot of people, even a few people within the Winky camp think so.

Did I even watch the Vargas fight? I wouldn't be commenting on the Vargas fight if I had never seen the Vargas fight ;)

I'm not saying anything about anything about Lampley or Merchant, but Vargas was an HBO fighter. And the fight was Winky's. No dobt about it. I don't care about Lampley or Merchant, they are just commentators who don't have any strings to pull. I'm not even saying that any strings were pulled, or if there are any strings :o But in Winky's mind, you know he is thinking about HBO. And that's what I was talking about.

Bottom line is that no matter what...punch stats do not lie.

Taylor lost...agian...but got the decision.

stop with your weak ass punch stats....
winky out landed taylor in 3 rounds alone by 30 of those punches.
winky outlanded taylor by like 60 that whole night.
i gve those 3 rounds to winky (with some others)
so if you break down the other 9 ROUNDS winky avraged barely over 3 punches ahead per round

are you telling me that those few shots by winky each round were more effective than jts shots?
seriously??
thought so.
theres your punch stat bs ;D

Agreed. But it's not like punch stats tell the whole story. The fight is scored on a round to round basis and the fight is judged round to round but even then, Winky won the fight imo. And if Winky didn't win, it was a draw. No way he won the fight though, which is why it's so hard to make sense of the 115-113 scorecard from Giampa. Like I think you said...it wasn't the biggest robbery in the world, but I think it was one of the more meaningful ones.

There have been worse decisions by far....I just dont see how people can say Taylor actually won the fight though, seriously a draw is the only the worst possible result Winky could have been given by a mediocre judge...

I still favour Winky in a rematch....
